Is anyone researching their ancestors who lived in Italy?
My 4th great-grandmother was Domenica RAINONE. She married Giocchino CERNESE who was born about 1754. At that time, more than a hundred years before the Unification of Italy, the place where they lived was in the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. It was under Spanish Bourbon rule then. The town where they lived is now called Palma Campania, in the province of Napoli.
I have other RAINONE in my file. They married people with the last names of ADDEO, DELLE DONNE, FERRARO, IEANNIELLO, MANCONE or MAGONE, and SIMONETTI. If anything sounds familiar, I will be glad to share information with you.
